The shimmer of exquisite Murano Glass captured in flowing strands of luxurious seed beads make this Venetian bracelet a real treasure. The mix of smooth round and cylinder-shaped beads infused with genuine silver foil create a look that is classic and delicate like Venice itself.
Twist the bracelet by gently turning the ends in opposite directions before closing the lock for more sparkly dramatic effect.

Murano's tradition of using colorful handcrafted seed beads to make jewelry and decorate clothing goes centuries back. In the early part of the 20th century decorating clothes and making jewelry with seed beads was the primary occupation of many Venetian women, who sat on Venetian streets and in courtyards beading and watching the kids. Nowadays many top "haute couture" designers still use Murano's famous seed beads in their most exclusive creations.

Be sure to get the matching Gloriosa 12 Strand Necklace to complete the look.

Measurements: The bracelet has 12 strands of seed beads (6 grey and 6 silver ones) and measures 7 inches in length, extendable to 8 inches via attached extender chain. The lobster clasp lock offers secure and comfortable fit.

This Murano Seed Bead Bracelet comes with the velvet pouch and the certificate of authenticity.

Workmanship



Infusing silver leaf in Murano Glass has been one of the secrets of Venetian glass-makers for centuries, allowing them to create luminous beautiful glass pieces that shimmer and glow from within. More recently Murano artisans have been creating jewelry with Murano Glass beads lined with silver leaf. To create each bead the master wraps a very thin layer of genuine silver leaf around the glass base under a flame, and then puts a layer of clear or colored glass on top. The silver-lined Murano Glass bead is then put into a special annealing camera, after which it is ready to be strung onto a necklace, a bracelet, or used to create earrings, or another jewelry piece. Enjoy your Murano Glass jewelry creation, knowing that every bead was carefully handmade by talented Murano Glass artisans in Venice, Italy.
